“It’s vital to take care of the caregiver! Yosaif does a terrific job of breaking down ways to do just that in a very consumable way.” —Sona Mehring, CaringBridge Founder and CEO

“I have been looking for a book on how to be a caregiver that is practical, accessible, concise and . . . gets them help where they decide they want it and need it. I have found it.

George Handzo, BCC, CSSBB, Senior Consultant for Chaplaincy Care Leadership & Practice, HealthCare Chaplaincy, New York City
